VHS : Hamlet [1997]

Hamlet [1997]


starring: Kenneth Branagh, Julie Christie, Derek Jacobi, Kate Winslet, Riz Abbasi
directed by: Kenneth Branagh
October 20, 1997


This is a very well-directed film. The great joy of watching a Branagh-directed Shakespeare is the effort put into ensuring that the diction is as clear and natural as possible without losing the strength of the text. The cast is excellent, Derek Jacobi and Kate Winslet in particular; even cameos for which you would perhaps have doubts - such as Robin Williams, who impresses with his characterisation of Osric, and Billy Crystal as the gravedigger - work. Indeed, the repartee between Billy Crystal and Simon Russell-Beale in the graveyard scene is the funniest I have ever witnessed.

The colour and sets are spectacular, all filmed in 70mm, allowing for great richness and definition. Branagh says he wanted to escape the Gothic look ... Read More:

The Good Life - Series 4 - Episodes 5 To 7 - Plus The Royal Special


starring: Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Paul Eddington, Penelope Keith
September 03, 2001


This video includes Suit Yourself, Sweet and Sour Charity, Anniversary, and the Royal Command Performance (also called When I'm 64).

The first three episodes listed are from the final series and are some of the best shows. Suit Yourself has Tom and Barbara turning fleeces into clothing (or something like clothing) and Jerry competing furiously for Sir's job. Sweet and Sour Charity features Margo deciding whether to take the lead role in the Music Society's production of Sweet Charity, a play she detests, or to stick to her principles and sit it out. Meanwhile, Tom and Barbara debate over whether to take the leftover heating oil from next door. In Anniversary, Sir has decided who will replace him when he retires. Will it be Jerry or the ...

VHS : In The Bleak Midwinter [1995]

In The Bleak Midwinter [1995]


starring: Michael Maloney, Richard Briers, Hetta Charnley, Joan Collins, Nicholas Farrell
directed by: Kenneth Branagh
August 06, 2001


This is a film that I went to see at the cinema on a whim. I liked Kenneth Brannagh's earlier films, especially Much Ado About Nothing, and had a couple of hours to kill.

I came out of the cinema feeling fantastically uplifted.

Why can't I get this film on DVD??????

VHS : The Bargee [1964]

The Bargee [1964]


starring: Harry H. Corbett, Hugh Griffith, Eric Sykes, Ronnie Barker, Julia Foster
directed by: Duncan Wood
April 21, 2003


Harry H. Corbett has always been a favourite of mine; he was a fine and talented actor. Alongside Ronnie Barker and Eric Sykes, set on the canals of England, it would be difficult to find a better setting. An excellent supporting cast, a witty and moral story, I was surprised at how pleasing and enjoyable this film turned out to be.

If you want a fun film, with beautiful settings, the feel and romance of "Old" England, this has to be a must watch. I never tire of it, especially the happy ending!

VHS : P.G. Wodehouse's Heavy Weather [1995]

P.G. Wodehouse's Heavy Weather [1995]


starring: Judy Parfitt, Roy Hudd, Richard Briers, Peter O'Toole, David Bamber
directed by: Jack Gold
February 08, 1999


This gem of a comedy brilliantly combines all the complicated neatness of a typically barmy P.G.Wodehouse plot with excellent performances by all the actors, from Peter O'Toole's almost sublime dottiness as Lord Emsworth to Beach the Butler's perfection (why don't we see Roy Hudd in many more films?) Richard Briers and Judy Parfitt are excellent, Richard Johnson, David Bamber, Sam West, Rebecca Lacy, Benjamin Soames..all a perfect fit: Why hasn't this little masterpiece been put on DVD?

VHS : The Good Life - Backs To The Wall [1975]

The Good Life - Backs To The Wall [1975]


starring: Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Penelope Keith, Paul Eddington, Reginald Marsh
October 07, 2002


The Good Life is a classic comedy series and these are three of its best episodes ("Backs to the Wall", "Silly, But it's Fun" and "The Wind Break War"). If you don't want to invest in a whole series, but would like to watch some of "The Good Life"'s best episodes then this video is for you.

The show is guaranteed to cheer you up and have you howling with laughter, whatever your age. Even some children will enjoy watching Margo, the eternal snob coming to terms with the Good's make do and mend Christmas, cheeky but suddenly serious Tom's over the top outrage at Margo's plans for a windbreak and Barbara's woeful attempt at bringing in the harvest in a storm.

Overall, great fun for all the family and one to watch over and over ... Read More:

VHS : Ever Decreasing Circles - Series 2

Ever Decreasing Circles - Series 2


starring: Richard Briers, Penelope Wilton, Peter Egan, Stanley Lebor, Geraldine Newman
directed by: Harold Snoad
June 17, 2002


The long-awaited second series of Ever Decreasing Circles, which contains seven episodes of this classic comedy.

Martin is still the only person in the close who does not think that his next-door-neighbour, Paul, is wonderful, and he fights a valiant but losing battle to try to convert the others to his way of thinking!

There is something very touching about Martin - he could come across as a bumptious, interfering busybody, but he is a kind man at heart, and his problems with Paul arise because he feels inferior.

In the first episode, Martin invites an old lady to tea, but turns up with a Dormobile full of them! Howard and Hilda pitch in to help prepare tea and entertain the visitors, but needless to say, it is Paul who is the biggest ... Read More:
